I got a Google Vacation Rental booking almost immediately and a direct booking. 

It is not an easy thing to run a property when your customers are horrible haha.I recommend student housing with 9 or 10 months lease and run STR during the summer for this property while students are on vacation.

What works best really depends on your goals and risk tolerance, but here’s a quick rundown of what I’ve seen happening in the area:STRs: These are still solid in vacation-heavy areas like Naples, Fort Myers, and the barrier islands.

We had vacationed there for years and viewed it as a place for future retirement.

Examples might include areas in the Midwest, Southeast, or Sunbelt regions.Multifamily Properties: Consider duplexes, triplexes, or small apartment buildings to increase unit count and spread risk across multiple tenants.Short-Term Rentals: If you’re comfortable with the management requirements, STRs in vacation or business travel markets can offer significantly higher cash flow potential than traditional rentals.Value-Add Properties: Look for opportunities to buy undervalued properties where you can force appreciation through renovations or better management.Decision FrameworkRun the Numbers: Compare the projected cash flow, equity growth, and tax implications of selling versus holding with a refinance or HELOC.

At the courthouse, the tenant signed an agreement to vacate the property by December 1st.

If those don’t align, vacation rental or investment property loans might be better options.

I reply firmly that the rent has been late for the past two months as well as this month and she will have to vacate the property.Again, crickets...There are few days until the 10 day notice period expires and I can formally file for eviction.So I reached out to lawyers in the area and they ask for retainers up to $3k and some $300 consultation fees.
